best stocked in this country. There
are over twelve complete sets of stage
furniture, costing $500, another
$500, and another $3.50 and so on.
In :ad dition to the scenery in the the

will probably give to his bees the atten-
ltion they require. II Indifferent to this
form of sweetness, his Bookkeeping is
not likely to be successful, unless the
hope of profit by the sale of honey
may stimulate to giving the needful
care. The labor required is not great.
but it must be given at the proper
time. If one is in doubt as to whether
he shall keep bees, he should procure
one of the several standard works on
the subject, and study it. If he has the
tastes of a naturalist, he will see that
a new and most interesting field IS pre-
scented, and that honey and wax are
not the only returns that the bees
make to those who observe them prop
erly. All experienced apiarists advise
beginning on a small scale. The care
of a single colony and it's increase. the
first year, will give all the instruction
needed to qualify one to conduct a lar
ger apiary. There are probably few, if
any, localities in this country that are
overstocked with bees, and the cultiva-
ton of honey plants has become neces-
sary for the sake of their nectar alone.

Pure Breeds ana Common Stock.

Pure Breeds ana Common stock.
Pure breeds of fowls have been so
widely disseminated that it is almost
impossible to find a common flock even
that has not been improved to the ex.
tent of containing n or two extr;
good layers. These will always be
found to possess good blood from some
pure-bred ascestor. In a flock of 100
hens the difference of one dozen more
eggs per year from each layer amounts
to 100 dozen, equal to 500, which is
quite an item; yet apure-bred cock can
be produced for one-fourth that sum.
Hence. if the laying qualities of the
hens are only increased three eggs in a
whole year, in flock of 100 hens the
eggs gained will pay for a pure-bred
cock valued ats$5. This shows that /,
really costs nothing to improve. True,
there may be a few dollars outlay at the
beginning, but; the value.will be return.

one, we may also allow Something fol

A>Surprise for the Teacher.

After all. popularity may have its
drawbacks. 1t is embarrassing to be
liked too much because so few individu-
ais can live up to the reputation of uni.
versal favorite. I heard a young
teacher in one of the public schools,
the other day, who suffers all the pleas
ure and inconvenience of being idolized
by her boys, and it seemed as though it
must be much more pleasant to be a
little less adored after being told OF
some of her experiences. The children
demonstrate their affections in various
ways peculiar to shy innocents who
must walk. breathe and speak accord
ing to public school discipline. One of
their greatest pleasures is''giving teach
ers something" 1t may be an apple,
Of a very warm and greasy doughnut,
brought to school in the .coat-pocket; it
may be some toy of home construction,
and in the summer it is fowers-per-
haps only a .nosegay of 'dandelions, a
bunch of ~buttercups, or the more ef1o-
resent lilac branch. In short, winter
or summer, this very popular teachers
desk is covered with childish, boyish
tokens that show an inherent spirit of
gallantry which is quite touching-in
the abstract. The other morning a lit
tie chap sided up to the desk with a box
in his red little paw, and, pressing it
into his teachers hand, said in a whis-
per: .'.There, I've brought 'em for
you" ,''What is it, dear?" said the
teacher. ''Oh, you look!" with a grin
of satisfaction. Untying the string she
opened the box, and behold, there were
a set of false teeth! s'They are nam.

tone. They're much prettier than

Early Pasture.

Early pasture, so serviceable on every
farm. is to be secured by sowing grass
es which start early, not by turning the
stock or the grass as soon as it is big
enough to be grazed. The grass must
make a considerable growth before it is
fit for food, and the more favorable the
weather, the greater the growth requir.
ed. Young grass has too large a pro-
portion of water, and when eaten by
animals. physics them while affording
little nutriment 1t is not uncommon
to see animals turned on pasture early,
lose flesh. The pastures also are in
jured. The ground is wet and soft,
and all the grasses, except possibly
bluegrass, are impaired by the tramp.
ling they euffer. Grazed upon before
they have made a good root-growtf
and gathered considerable vigor, grass
es are slow to start up again, and thei1
growth is feeble. Pasturing early
therefore. is extravagant, If the ami
mails are kept on dry feed two weeks
longer, they will continue to gain flesh
instead of losing it. A patch of ry'
should be sown in the TALL for earl,
spring pasture.

Milk Tests.

The only: system yet suggested which
bids fair to'be of practicable applica-
ton in creameries, for'the frequent or
even daily. testing of milk brought in
by many producers, and for the daily
testing of the milk of each COW of a
herd, If this be desired, is that by the
means of an oil-test churn. This ap-
paratus consist of many glass tubes of
the same size, into each of which an
equal quantity of milk is placed, fill
ing the tubes half to two-thirds full.
The tubes are set upright for the
! cream to rise; then they stand at a
temperature of sixtv-five degrees or
over, until incipient souring comes on,
when the cream is supposed to be
''ripe." or fit for churning. Then all
the tubes, or, as we may now call them,
little churns, are laid upon their sides
or fastened in frames, and violently
shaken in a machine made for the pur-
pose, until it is evident that all the
cream has been turned into butter.
This done, the frames are removed,
and, being placed in water heated to
about 40 degrees, the butter melts to
. limpid oil, which, upon cooling-the
tubes standing perfectly upright-may
be easily measured, n d.will show with
considerable accuracy the relative
amount of butter in the different SAM
pies. It is clear that by this process
the milk of. one day a be reported
upon n or two, days thereafter, and
al only a very small quantity of milk
is required, no less a be reckoned
from this cause. Only a double or
triple: set of, tubes is needed to test the
milk of every producer every day.
With skill, attained by practice, even
with the rather crude apparatus which
has been used, quite satisfactory results
has been secured. The oil-test churn.
now. in its infancy, promises to be ar
exceedingly valuable aid to breeders
and ~cow-keepers, as well as to those
awho buy milk and cream, in enabling
them to determine the amout of fat

fruits for he Plains.

Prot. Charles E. Bessey, of Nebraska,
discussing in the american A~gricultur-
get for March the great changes that
have taken place in the horticulture Of
the Plains, says:
have just passed through an expe-
renee which has materially changed
my views as to the growing of fruit
upon the great plains. The winters
for several years have been very severe
il the West, testing old varieties to the
uttermost, and many a tree which has
been regarded by its owner as perfect
" hardy, has succumbed to the extreme
cold. In Iowa, the last few winters
have destroyed thousands of trees, and
in some instances whole orchards have
been swept away. Upon the plains, to
the westward of the Missouri River,
the conditions were originally such,
that few people had faith that fruits
could aver be grown there with any
hope of success. 10 one that has been
over these long rolling stretches oftree-
less land and the probability that they
would grow productive orchares SEEM
ed remote indeed. Excepting on a
comparatively small strip along the
Missouri River there were no native
apples, plunas, hlackberries, .raspber-
ries currents, or grapes. Nature plant
ed strawberries in abundance every
where ON the plains, and in the region
north of the Platte River a promising
looking dwarf cherry.
Bnt the recen meeting of the Ne
/ braska State Horticultural Society has
demonstrated that fruits, and fine fruits
too, can I've grown upon the former all
but fruitless plains. The meetings
were held in the rooms of the Depart.
mentto of Botany and Horticulture Of the
State University in the City of Lincoln.
The botanical laboratory was turned
into IAN exhibition room. and here, upon
tableswhich stretched from end to END
.of the large room, were arranged about
two hundred and fifty plates of as fine
:apples as l have eyer seen. Think o.
lit, my horticultural friends in the East

degrees west of Chicago even,a show OF

exhibition which you can make!
